81afe89318 libata: clear TF before IDENTIFYing
Some devices chock if Feature is not clear when IDENTIFY is issued.
Set ATA_TFLAG_ISADDR | ATA_TFLAG_DEVICE for IDENTIFY such that whole
TF is cleared when reading ID data.

Kudos to Art Haas for testing various futile patches over several
months and Mark Lord for pointing out the fix.

11750a40ab libata: Early CFA adapters are not required to support mode setting
If we are doing a PIO setup for a CFA card and it blows up with a device
error then assume it is an older CFA card which doesn't support this
rather than failing the device out of existance.

Stands seperate to the quieting patch but that is obviously useful with
this change.

34fee227dd libata: add 150ms between completion of hardreset and status checking
Follow the old SRST rule and delay 150ms between completion of
hardreset and status checking.  Debouncing delay should usually cover
this but debounce duration could be shorter than 150ms under certain
circumstances.

Usefulness depends on host controller implementation but it can't hurt
and serves as a reminder that 2s delay for GoVault should also be
added here.

836250069f libata: add another IRQ calls (core and headers)
This patch is against the libata core and headers.

Two IRQ calls are added in ata_port_operations.
- irq_on() is used to enable interrupts.
- irq_ack() is used to acknowledge a device interrupt.

In most drivers, ata_irq_on() and ata_irq_ack() are used for
irq_on and irq_ack respectively.

In some drivers (ex: ahci, sata_sil24) which cannot use them
as is, ata_dummy_irq_on() and ata_dummy_irq_ack() are used.

Update libata core layer to use devres.

* ata_host is allocated as devres associated with ata_host_release.

* Port attached status is handled as devres associated with

* Except for ata_scsi_release() removal, LLD interface remains the

800b399669 [PATCH] libata: always use polling IDENTIFY
libata switched to IRQ-driven IDENTIFY when IRQ-driven PIO was
introduced.  This has caused a lot of problems including device
misdetection and phantom device.

ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING was added recently to selectively use polling
IDENTIFY on problemetic drivers but many controllers and devices are
affected by this problem and trying to adding ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING
for each such case is diffcult and not very rewarding.

This patch makes libata always use polling IDENTIFY.  This is
consistent with libata's original behavior and drivers/ide's behavior.

0f0a3ad374 [PATCH] libata: make sure IRQ is cleared after ata_bmdma_freeze()
Now that BMDMA status is recorded in irq handler.  ata_bmdma_freeze()
is free to manipulate host status.  Under certain circumstances, some
controllers (ICH7 in enhanced mode w/ IRQ shared) raise IRQ when CTL
register is written to and ATA_NIEN doesn't mask it.

This patch makes ata_bmdma_freeze() clear all pending IRQs after
freezing a port.  This change makes explicit clearing in
ata_device_add() unnecessary and thus kills it.  The removed code was
SFF-specific and was in the wrong place.

Note that ->freeze() handler is always called under ap->lock held and
irq disabled.  Even if CTL manipulation causes stuck IRQ, it's cleared
immediately.  This should be safe (enough) even in SMP environment.
More correct solution is to mask the IRQ from IRQ controller but that
would be an overkill.

* updating drivers is easy

55a8e2c83c [PATCH] libata: implement presence detection via polling IDENTIFY
On some controllers (ICHs in piix mode), there is *NO* reliable way to
determine device presence other than issuing IDENTIFY and see how the
transaction proceeds by watching the TF status register.

libata acted this way before irq-pio and phantom devices caused very
little problem but now that IDENTIFY is performed using IRQ drive PIO,
such phantom devices now result in multiple 30sec timeouts during
boot.

This patch implements ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING.  If a LLD sets this
flag, libata core issues the initial IDENTIFY in polling mode and if
the initial data transfer fails w/ HSM violation, the port is
considered to be empty thus replicating the old libata and IDE
behavior.

6fc49adb94 [PATCH] libata: use FLUSH_EXT only when driver is larger than LBA28 limit
Many drives support LBA48 even when its capacity is smaller than
1<<28, as LBA48 is required for many functionalities.  FLUSH_EXT is
mandatory for drives w/ LBA48 support.

Interestingly, at least one of such drives (ST960812A) has problems
dealing with FLUSH_EXT.  It eventually completes the command but takes
around 7 seconds to finish in many cases thus drastically slowing down
IO transactions.  This seems to be a firmware bug which sneaked into
production probably because no other ATA driver including linux IDE
issues FLUSH_EXT to drives which report support for LBA48 & FLUSH_EXT
but is smaller than 1<<28 blocks.

This patch adds ATA_DFLAG_FLUSH_EXT which is set iff the drive
supports LBA48 & FLUSH_EXT and is larger than LBA28 limit.  Both cache
flush paths are updated to issue FLUSH_EXT only when the flag is set.
Note that the changed behavior is more inline with the rest of libata.
libata prefers shorter commands whenever possible.

libata EH used to perform ata_set_mode() iff the EH session performed
reset as indicated by ATA_EHI_DID_RESET.  This is incorrect because
->dev_config() called by revalidation is allowed to modify transfer

the following two flags.

* ATA_EHI_SETMODE: set during EH to schedule ata_set_mode().  Both new
  device attachment and revalidation set this flag.

* ATA_EHI_POST_SETMODE: set while the device is revalidated after
  ata_set_mode().  Post-setmode revalidation is different from initial
  configuaration and EH revalidation in that ->dev_config() is not
  allowed tune transfer mode.  LLD can use this flag to determine
  whether it's allowed to tune transfer mode.  Note that POST_SETMODE
  ->dev_config() is guaranteed to be preceded by non-POST_SETMODE
  ->dev_config().

libata waits for !BSY even when the status register reports 0xff.
This causes long boot delays when D8 isn't pulled down properly.  This

* make ata_busy_sleep() return 0 on success and -errno on failure.
  -ENODEV is returned on 0xff status and -EBUSY on other failures.

* make ata_bus_softreset() succeed on 0xff status.  0xff status is not
  reset failure.  It indicates no device.  This removes unnecessary
  retries on such ports.  Note that the code change assumes unoccupied
  port reporting 0xff status does not produce valid device signature.

65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

52bad64d95 WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events.
Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
the timer_list removed from work_struct.

The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness.  On a 64-bit
architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size.  This reduces that by half for the
non-delayable type of event.

a462508544 [PATCH] libata: Convert from module_init to subsys_initcall
When building a monolithic kernel, the load order of drivers does not
work for SAS libata users, resulting in a kernel oops.

Convert libata to use subsys_initcall instead of module_init, which
ensures that libata gets loaded before any LLDD.

This is the same thing that scsi core does to solve the problem.  The
load order problem was observed on ipr SAS adapters and should exist for
other SAS users as well.
